Our colourful hand painted coconut maracas make a lovely sound when you shake them.  They can be played just by simply shaking them, alternatively you can hold them upside down and just rotate the maracas.  They are handmade in Bali by our lovely fair trade instrument makers.

They are made from hand painted coconuts filled with small seeds then lightly varnished for protection.  The handle is made from a sustainably grown softwood, they measure 23 cm ( 9" ) high. As they are a natural product the size of the coconut does vary but typically they are around 11- 12 cm in diameter

They are a great instrument for children or anybody who wants to join in a Jam,  they require no previous musical knowledge!
